Abstract:
We report on a patient with a chronic nodular cutaneous infection histologically presenting with tuberculoid granulomas and growing Mycobacterium gordonae in culture from a biopsy. The lesions were treated surgically. M. gordonae is a potentially pathogenic environmental mycobacterium only rarely causing skin infections.
